Hi from my spot on the Ganges Harbour for the Salt Spring Island Farmers Market! June is here!  It definitely is a wetter year than last here on Salt Spring Island.  The grass needs more mowing, rain days/stormy weather is happening and just an overall feeling of it being a bit cooler than last year.  But it's still wonderful and lovely and everything amazing that Salt Spring is! My schedule on the weekends is kind of full as I'm up early on Saturday filling the farmstand (open 8 am to 6 pm), heading over to the market to sell from...

Hello from Salt Spring Island!  More beach finds to wet your whistle for the day! There are so many tiny, tucked away beaches here that I'm still discovering them all and having trouble keeping them all straight.  I believe this one is called Bader Beach with this gorgeous mountain stream flowing down into the ocean.  Even though we drove there, I am still such a newbie that I have issues with keeping my compass here so not even sure which side of the island it is on. lol  I normally am good with directions but someone pointed out to me...

Salt Spring Island beaches and sunny days! A happy May to all!  I hope that you are enjoying the weather, wherever you are.  It's been a mix of super sunny Summer weather here on Salt Spring one day and then the quiet rain and chill on others.  Perfect for the beach in the sun one day and by a cozy fire indoors, the next.  I really can't complain but I always put out the caveat of when I'm planning to be somewhere (at a market or a farmstand) that it is dependant on the weather.  Noone likes wet products so...

Time flies!  It was a year ago this week that I was scrambling to get all the packing finished and put onto a truck between snow storms and getting on the road to Salt Spring Island.  I knew that I just had to take the leap and get here to see what direction everything would go in as I started to rebuild from the devastation of the pandemic.  And so we arrived through a few trials and tribulations that we fondly (or not so fondly) reminisced on this past weekend.  What was so great about the process of reminiscing was...

Happy Spring Break to everyone!  Don't you just love when you plan for one thing and then something else comes to the forefront and changes need to be made?  I feel like that may just be my theme of 2024. The roads on Salt Spring Island are winding and hilly like the pic above. To give you some idea, the speed limit on most of the island is 50 km per hour, there are no stop lights (there are stop signs) and most roads have a do not pass, solid line down the middle.  If you get stuck behind someone...
